Aortic elasticity indices (AEI) have emerged as potential indicators for evaluating risk in CAD. This research aimed to explore the association between AEI and the severity of CAD, as measured by the modified Gensini score (mGS).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 225 individuals were screened, out of which 100 eligible individuals undergoing elective coronary angiography for suspected CAD were enrolled. These participants were divided into two groups: Group I, with normal or insignificant angiographic findings (31%) and Group II, with significant CAD (69%), for whom the mGS was calculated. Echocardiographically derived AEI were obtained for all participants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean age was 55.26 \u00b1 8.94 years, predominantly males (63%). Unstable angina was the most prevalent presentation (70%), and dyslipidemia was identified as the most predominant (89%) risk factor.
